MDP Hydraulics
(1) Core Working Principle
This valve adopts an integrated design of "flow regulation + pressure compensation". Essentially, it achieves dynamic maintenance of a constant pressure difference between the inlet and outlet of the throttling port through the series connection of a built-in differential pressure reducing valve and an adjustable flow valve. When the inlet pressure or load pressure of the system changes, the compensating valve core will automatically adjust the opening degree of the pressure reducing port according to the equilibrium of the forces at both ends - when the load pressure increases, the valve core moves to the right to increase the pressure reducing port, reducing pressure loss; when the load pressure decreases, the valve core moves to the left to reduce the pressure reducing port, increasing the inlet pressure, ultimately ensuring that the set flow rate is not affected by pressure fluctuations and remains stable and constant. The flow regulation is achieved by rotating the valve stem to change the area of the throttling hole, with intuitive operation and a continuous adjustment range.
(2) Key Performance Parameters
Flow range: 0~60L/min (0~16gpm), covering the flow control requirements of medium-sized and large hydraulic systems;
Nominal pressure: 210bar, the maximum pressure resistance is suitable for the pressure levels of mainstream industrial and construction machinery hydraulic systems;
Oil port specification: 1/2″-NPT threaded interface, in line with international universal installation standards, with reliable sealing performance;
Safety protection: Integrated with an adjustable spring safety ball valve, the factory preset pressure is 1500psi, the adjustment range is 750~3000psi, which can be flexibly set according to the system requirements to prevent overpressure damage;
Compatible media and environment: Compatible with common hydraulic media such as hydraulic oil, water - ethylene glycol, etc. The working temperature range is - 30℃ to + 110℃, capable of withstanding temperature fluctuations and impurity influences in harsh working conditions.
(3) Core Advantages
High flow stability: The pressure compensation mechanism completely eliminates the interference of load changes on the flow. Compared with ordinary throttling valves, the flow stability is significantly improved, ensuring the uniform and precise movement of the actuator (hydraulic cylinder / motor);
Energy saving and efficiency: When combined with a variable pump, it can achieve power matching, reducing energy loss from overflow, and compared with traditional fixed throttling valves, the energy-saving effect is obvious;
Structurally durable: The valve core adopts a precise fitting process, with a gap of ≤ 5μm, strong anti-pollution ability, and combined with high-quality sealing components, it extends the service life and reduces maintenance frequency;
Outstanding cost performance: As a direct supply product from a Chinese manufacturer, it ensures the core performance is comparable to international similar products, and has a significant price advantage, reducing the overall system procurement cost.
This valve features "pressure adaptation, stable flow, and durability in various working conditions", and is widely applicable to both industrial and mobile machinery scenarios. It is particularly suitable for hydraulic circuits that require high precision in flow control and system stability:
(1) Industrial manufacturing sector

Plastic machinery: hydraulic circuits of injection molding machines and extruders, stabilizing melt injection and mold opening speeds to ensure product consistency in molding;
General machinery: actuator speed control of hydraulic presses and bending machines, achieving smooth operation under heavy-load conditions;
Energy and chemical industry: hydraulic lubrication systems in steel mills and fluid transportation circuits in petrochemicals, suitable for high-pressure and wide-temperature working environments.
(2) Mobile construction machinery sector
Mining machinery: control of the boom, arm, and slewing mechanism of excavators, maintaining stable speeds of all actuators during compound movements;
Lifting and transportation: lifting and slewing mechanisms of truck cranes and loaders, ensuring smooth and safe heavy-load lifting processes;
Special vehicles: hydraulic lifting systems of dump trucks and drive circuits of port handling equipment, capable of withstanding bumpy road conditions and frequent start-stop operations;
Agricultural machinery: suspension and drive systems of large tractors for farm implements, adapting to complex load changes in the field.
(3) Special working conditions scenarios
Mining machinery, paper-making equipment, port machinery, etc., require resistance to pressure fluctuations, tolerance to dust and oil contamination, as well as complex hydraulic systems with multiple actuators working together.
